When should I need to replace my Epson maintenance box?

Epson printers are all-in-one devices that are easy to use, deliver great results, and are suitable for everyday chores such as quality printing, copying, and scanning from photographs to homework tasks. Epson Inkjet Large format printer Ink Maintenance Box contains ink, which is discharged off the system while printing head cleaning. When the maintenance box has to be replaced, your printer and its software will let you know.

Only a small quantity of extra ink can be collected in the maintenance box. The printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbent capacity of the maintenance box reaches its maximum to prevent ink from leaking from the maintenance box.

The number of pages you print will depend on whether and how often the type of material you print is required and the number of cleaning cycles the printer does.

When you see a message to replace the maintenance box, prepare a flathead screwdriver and follow the on-screen instructions. The necessity to replace the box does not mean that your printer has stopped operating according to its specifications. The Epson guarantee does not cover the cost of this substitution. It’s a user-service component.

How long does the Epson maintenance box last?

The Epson Inkjet large format printer tracks how much ink is sprayed into the cleaning station. It ensures that everything related to the waste got into the garbage tank. If you have ever had a blockage, the estimate is high. Some of the ink it was trying to spew remained in the cart.

Imagine you were completely stuck in your thoughts, a fresh set of ink carts, and a brand new waste tank. The Epson Inkjet large format printer ensures that every cleaning time, the whole ink it tried to spit out left the cart and now is in the waste tank. All that ink is still in the cart, but you can’t use it since the cart counter thinks it’s gone.
